Some THC here and there but that's about it. I just thought Jerry had what Neil Young has...this raw, primal "musician" core that infused his performances. They both know how to TOUCH you. In terms of technical proficiency, Jerry is obviously light years ahead of Neil. I put Neil on the same plateau as Lou Reed...they could pick up a guitar and plug in and hit a LOT of bad notes but rock you like you've never been rocked. Jerry clearly noodled...hell, he had to put up with Weir learning how to play slide guitar ON STAGE...but in terms of compositions like Bird Song and Stella Blue, a bowl or two amplified their beauty, but really wasn't required.
